Tokin' Black Guy Options

[hi-C]

From Pretty Much Amazing!:

So last night “Kanye West” emailed me [via his goodmusicinfo@gmail.com email address -- you'd think GOOD Music would have its own email server, no?] at around 2am linking me to a YouTube video for Tokin’ Black Guy’s (who?) new song “Turn My Music High.” Since I don’t do YouTube videos, I asked for an MP3, and “Kanye West” obliged and sent the track over. But who is this Tokin’ Black Guy? We get nothing about him from his myspace account, or even the GOOD Music page — I assume he’s signed to it.

So the next thing to pop up in my mind is the possibility of Tokin’ Black Guy being to Kanye what Japanese Cartoon is to Lupe Fiasco. Or is that a stretch? It definitely doesn’t sound like Kanye West — well maybe a little.

So what do you think? Take a listen (the song is dope anyway) and let the speculation begin.

i'm listening to it now... it doesn't sound like Kanye to me. it does sound like somebody i've heard before though.... i can't put my finger on it. i kinda like the sound. not paying attention to the lyrics. they were right about "Lying" being lazy. it's kind of a drag.
